  However, in such a configuration, especially in a large console box, since the number of sliding shafts increases, the sliding resistance between the sliding shaft and the guide groove portion increases, and the operating torque increases. On the other hand, in order to reduce this operating torque, there is no choice but to widen the fitting gap between the sliding shaft and the guide groove, and in this case, the shutter will slide due to rattling. There is a risk that noise may occur or load resistance may be reduced.

  There is also known a configuration in which the sliding shaft has a hollow elastic structure so that the sliding performance of the entire shutter is not impaired by the elastic action of the sliding shaft even in a curved portion of the guide groove (for example, , See Patent Document 2).

  However, in the case of such a configuration, in order to add elasticity to the slide shaft that slides in the guide groove portion, which is usually set to 10 mm or less, all the slide shafts have a very thin mold structure. Must be hollow. In the case of such a fine mold structure, it is not easy to ensure durability in an environment where repeated injection of molten resin at extremely high temperature and high pressure is repeated, and productivity caused by frequent maintenance and the like There are concerns about a decline and an increase in administrative costs. Further, if the durability of the mold is to be improved, various reinforcements are required, and it is not easy to suppress the manufacturing cost by additionally attaching a shaft or the like for reinforcement.

Therefore, the shutter main body 31 includes a front cell portion 41 constituted by the inner front cell portion main body 35a and the outer front cell portion main body 38a, and a plurality of inner cell portions 36a and a plurality of outer rear cell portion main bodies 39a. The cell part 41, 42 can be flexibly and elastically deformed in the front-rear direction by each hinge part 39d. The insertion shaft 32 includes an inner member 27 and an outer member 28, and includes a plurality of support shafts 43 located on both sides of the front cell portion 41, an inner member 27 and an outer member 28, and each rear cell portion 42. A plurality of first shafts 44 that are located on both sides of the rear cell portion 42 and a plurality of second shafts 45 that are constituted by the inner member 27 and are located on both sides of each rear cell portion 42 are set. That is, the second shaft 45 and the first shaft 44 are positioned on the front and rear sides of each side of the rear cell portion 42. In other words, a total of four insertion shafts 32 are arranged, one on each side, for each rear cell portion 42.

  Here, each support shaft 43 is configured by an insertion tube portion 38b of the outer member 28 and a support shaft portion 35b of the inner member 27 protruding from the insertion tube portion 38b, and the outer periphery of the insertion tube portion 38b is the guide groove portion 15. In this state, the outer periphery of the insertion tube portion 38b is sandwiched between the one and the other wall portions 25, 26. Each first shaft 44 includes an insertion portion 39c of the outer member 28 and a shaft portion 36b of the inner member 27 protruding from the insertion portion 39c. The outer periphery of the insertion portion 39c is one of the guide groove portions 15 and A state of sliding contact between the other wall portions 25 and 26, in other words, an outer periphery of the insertion portion 39c is sandwiched between the one and the other wall portions 25 and 26 (FIG. 4).

  For this reason, each support shaft 43 and each first shaft 44 come into contact with the guide groove portion 15 when the shutter 12 is sliding or stationary with respect to the box main body 11, and the shutter main body 31 is connected to the guide groove portion 15. Always support. And the outer peripheral part of the base end side which is a part which contacts the guide groove part 15 of these each support shaft 43 and each 1st axis | shaft 44 is the center part (shaft part 35b, 36b) which does not contact with the guide groove part 15, In other words, it is formed of a member that is softer than the second shaft 45.

  Each second shaft 45 is constituted by a shaft portion 36b of the inner member 27 protruding from the opening 39b of the outer member 28. In the present embodiment, each second shaft 45 is thinner than each first shaft 44 (diameter size). The outer periphery of the guide groove 15 is at a position spaced apart from the one and other walls 25 and 26 of the horizontal portion 21 with a predetermined gap (clearance) C. That is, each of the second shafts 45 does not contact the guide groove portion 15 when the shutter 12 is sliding or stationary with respect to the box body 11 (FIG. 5). When the load F is applied, the shutter body 31 is configured to contact the one wall portion 25 by elastic deformation of the shutter body 31 and to support the shutter body 31 in the guide groove portion 15 (FIG. 7). Therefore, the second shaft 45 has a smaller contact area with the guide groove portion 15 than the first shaft 44 when the shutter body 31 of the shutter 12 is slid and stationary, and the contact area is substantially equal in this embodiment. 0. The gap C is set so as not to generate noise when the shutter 12 slides with respect to the box body 11, and is, for example, about 0.8 mm in the present embodiment. Furthermore, the horizontal overlap dimension between each second shaft 45 and one wall portion 25 of the guide groove 15, that is, the lapping allowance, is obtained when a predetermined load, for example, a load F of about 50 kg is applied. Even when the shaft 45 is deformed, the shaft 45 is set so as not to fall off from the guide groove portion 15. For example, in this embodiment, it is about 5.5 mm.

  In the present embodiment, the first shafts 44 and the second shafts 45 are alternately arranged one by one along the front-rear direction, that is, every other one. In other words, every other insertion portion 39c of the outer member 28 is formed with respect to the shaft portion 36b of the inner member 27. That is, each first shaft 44 has a base end side of the shaft portion 36b that forms the second shaft 45, every other member than the member that constitutes this shaft portion 36b (the member that constitutes the inner member 27). It is formed by covering with a soft member (a member constituting the outer member 28). The higher the ratio of the first shaft 44 in the insertion shaft 32 (the lower the ratio of the second shaft 45), the higher the sliding resistance of the shutter 12, and the operation torque is relatively increased to improve the operability. Since the followability to the shape of the guide groove portion 15 is relatively enhanced while being relatively lowered, the ratio of the first shaft 44 and the second shaft 45 in the insertion shaft 32 takes into account their balance. Is preferably set.

  The lock portion 33 is an operation portion for opening and closing the shutter 12 by an occupant or the like, and includes a lock opening portion 51 formed by communication of the inner opening portion 35d and the outer opening portion 38d, and an inner portion of the inner lock portion 35c. A handle portion 52 is formed by the handle portion 35e and the outer handle portion 38e of the outer lock portion 38c that covers the inner handle portion 35e, and is positioned on both sides of the lock opening 51 and around the rear side. A lock button 53 as an engaging member formed separately from the inner member 27 and the outer member 28 is attached to the lock opening 51 so as to be able to advance and retreat. The lock button 53 engages and holds the shutter 12 at a position where the opening 14 is closed with respect to the box body 11 by engaging the front end side of the lower portion with the lock receiving portion, and a coil as a biasing means. It is urged toward the direction of maintaining the engagement with the lock receiving portion by an elastic body (not shown) such as a spring or a torsion spring.

  The console box 10 is configured such that the shutter 12 is movably combined with the box body 11 by inserting the insertion shafts 32 on both sides of the shutter 12 into the guide groove portions 15 on both sides of the box body 11.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the console box 10 is slid with respect to the box body 11 when the shutter 12 is completely closed at the opening 14, that is, at the fully closed position, the lock button 53 is engaged with the lock receiving portion. It is fixed not to. In this state, the rear end portion of the shutter 12 is curved downward along the upper curved portion 22 of the guide groove portion 15.

  Then, by grasping the lock button 53 and the handle 52 so that an occupant pushes the lock button 53 toward the handle 52, the lock button 53 rotates against the bias of the elastic body, The lock button 53 and the lock receiving portion are disengaged, and the shutter 12 can slide in the front-rear direction with respect to the box body 11.

  The occupant or the like grabs the handle 52 and applies an external force in the front-rear direction to slide the shutter 12. When the shutter 12 has slid rearward, the rear portion is sequentially sent to the upper curved portion 22 and the descending portion 23, and the opening portion 14 is fully opened, that is, the fully open position, and the rear end portion of the shutter 12 is curved downward. It is curled forward along the part 24.

  When the shutter 12 slides, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8A, each support shaft 43 and each first shaft 44 are connected to one and the other wall portions 25, 26 of the guide groove portion 15. The contact resistance (sliding resistance) is generated by contacting the shutter body 31 and supporting the shutter body 31 in the guide groove portion 15. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 8A, each second shaft 45 does not contact one and the other wall portions 25, 26 of the horizontal portion 21 of the guide groove portion 15, and contact resistance ( (Sliding resistance) does not occur. Therefore, the operating torque of the shutter 12 is set by the contact resistance between each support shaft 43 and each first shaft 44 and one and the other wall portions 25 and 26 of the guide groove portion 15, and the shutter 12 moves in the front-rear direction by this operating torque. To slide.

  In addition, the second shaft 45 is separated from the wall portions 25 and 26 of the guide groove portion 15 so that the second shaft 45 is not in contact with the curved portion along the upper curved portion 22 of the guide groove portion 15 of the shutter 12. (FIG. 8 (b)).

  Further, when a downward load F is applied to the shutter 12, for example, when an occupant accidentally puts his hand or elbow on the upper part of the shutter 12, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. The shutter main body 31 bends downward with the vicinity of the point of application of the load F as the lowest part. At this time, the first shaft 44 is kept in contact with one and the other wall portions 25 and 26 of the guide groove portion 15, and the second shaft 45 is tilted upward at the distal end side due to the deflection of the shutter body 31. Then, it plays the role of a support rod by contacting one of the wall portions 25, and the shutter 12 falls into the opening 14 (inside the box body 11) by supporting the shutter body 31 in the guide groove portion 15. It is prevented.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the shutter 12 is slid, the outer periphery on the proximal end side of the first shaft 44 is always in contact with the guide groove 15 and the shutter main body 31 is always supported by the guide groove 15. However, since the second shaft 45 does not contact the guide groove portion 15, the sliding resistance is mainly set by the first shaft 44, so that the total number of the insertion shafts 32 is particularly large, such as a large console box 10. However, a good operational feeling (operation feeling) can be obtained, for example, the sliding resistance is suppressed and the operation torque is reduced, and the operability can be secured and the load F is applied to the shutter body 31. In this case, not only the first shaft 44 but also the second shaft 45 comes into contact with the guide groove 15 due to the deformation of the shutter body 31, that is, the contact area of the second shaft 45 with the guide groove 15 increases. Load F is applied to both the first shaft 44 and the second shaft 45 Can support me, you can secure the load-bearing.

  That is, in order to suppress the sliding resistance of the shutter 12, the number of the insertion shafts 32 inserted into the guide groove portion 15 may be reduced, but when the number of the insertion shafts 32 is simply reduced, the shutter body 31 On the other hand, load resistance when load F is applied is also reduced. Therefore, in this embodiment, in addition to the first shaft 44 that always supports the shutter body 31 in the guide groove 15 and sets the sliding resistance, the guide groove 15 is not in contact with the shutter 12 when sliding. By setting the second shaft 45 that supports the shutter main body 31 in the guide groove 15 when the load F is applied to the shutter main body 31 as the insertion shaft 32, the operability and the load resistance are improved. It can be compatible.

  Further, generally, the operational feeling of the shutter 12 and the rattling are mutually contradictory relations, and in order to improve the operational feeling, one and the other wall portions of the first shaft 44 and the horizontal portion 21 of the guide groove portion 15 are used. When the gap C between 25 and 26 is increased, rattling occurs. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sliding resistance that determines the operational feeling of the shutter 12 is increased by increasing the gap C between the first shaft 44 and one of the horizontal portions 21 and the other wall portions 25 and 26 of the guide groove portion 15. Instead of reducing the ratio of the first shaft 44 in the insertion shaft 32, the insertion shaft 32 and the insertion shaft 32 can be moved while the shutter 12 slides while obtaining a good operational feeling of the shutter 12. It is possible to provide a high-quality console box 10 in which noise caused by rattling with the guide groove 15 is unlikely to occur.

  In addition, it can be realized with a simple structure in which the first shaft 44 and the second shaft 45 are separately formed. For example, it is not necessary to apply a fine structure or the like to the molding die for molding the shutter 12, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. Can be suppressed.

  Specifically, the first shaft 44 is covered by surrounding the base end side of the shaft portion 36b of the inner member 27 constituting the second shaft 45 with the insertion portion 39c of the outer member 28 that is softer than the inner member 27. By forming the first shaft 44 and the second shaft 45, it becomes easier to make the first shaft 44 and the manufacturing cost can be further suppressed. In other words, the number of first shafts 44 and the number of second shafts 45 are different by merely adjusting the number of insertion portions 39c and openings 39b of the outer member 28 without greatly changing the design of the inner member 27. Various types of shutters 12 can be easily made.

  Further, the second shaft 45 is formed to be narrower than the first shaft 44, and the deformation of the shutter body 31 when a load F is applied to the shutter body 31 causes the second shaft 45 to be guided to the guide groove portion 15. By configuring the contact area to increase, the second shaft 45 that supports the shutter body 31 in the guide groove 15 when the load F is applied to the shutter body 31 can be easily configured.

  Further, by alternately providing the first shaft 44 and the second shaft 45 one by one along the moving direction of the shutter 12, that is, the sliding direction, the guide groove portion 15 is reduced while reducing the sliding resistance of the shutter 12. The followability to the shape can be improved.

  Further, the shutter 12 is formed by the synthetic resin inner member 27 and the outer member 28 made of a synthetic resin softer than the inner member 27 and covering the inner member 27, thereby ensuring the rigidity and flexibility of the shutter 12. However, since the design can be set by the outer member 28, the degree of freedom in design is improved.

  Further, by providing such a shutter 12, it is possible to provide the console box 10 with reduced manufacturing cost while ensuring operability and load resistance.

  In the first embodiment, for example, the shutter 12 that slides only linearly or the shutter 12 that has a larger radius of curvature (smaller curvature) such as the curved portions 22 and 24. The sliding resistance is further reduced by reducing the number of insertion portions 39c and placing two first shafts 44, or placing three first shafts 44 (second embodiment shown in FIG. 10). It is also possible to lighten the operational feeling and improve the operability. That is, by changing the ratio of the first shaft 44 (second shaft 45) in the insertion shaft 32 according to the radius size of the curved portion of the guide groove portion 15, various radius dimensions can be curved. Yes.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, for example, when the weight of the shutter 12 is large, for example, by making the length of the hinge part 39d or the material of the outer member 28 constituting the hinge part 39d softer, etc. A portion of the shutter 12 that is curved along the upper curved portion 22 of the guide groove portion 15 is curved in a state in which the curved portion is slightly swollen rearward than the curved portion of the upper curved portion 22, so that the first portion located in the curved portion is located. The second shaft 45 is brought into contact with one wall portion 25 of the guide groove 15 (third embodiment shown in FIG. 11), and the shutter is caused by the contact resistance between the second shaft 45 and the one wall portion 25. 12 may be configured so as to prevent the shutter 12 from falling rearward and downward along the descending portion 23 of the guide groove portion 15 due to its own weight. Even in this case, the second shaft 45 has a smaller contact area with the guide groove portion 15 than the first shaft 44 when the shutter body 31 of the shutter 12 is slid and stationary, so that the sliding resistance of the shutter 12 is small. It won't be bigger than necessary.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, by changing the thickness of the first shaft 44 and the second shaft 45, the first shaft 44 is always in contact with the guide groove portion 15 so that the shutter main body 31 is attached to the guide groove portion. 15, the second shaft 45 is configured to support the shutter body 31 in the guide groove portion 15 when a load F is applied to the shutter body 31. For example, the first shaft 44 and the second shaft are supported. The thickness (shaft diameter) with respect to 45 is a predetermined value that is smaller than the distance between the one and other wall portions 25, 26 of the guide groove portion 15 and substantially equal to each other, and the protruding position of the insertion shaft 32 is, for example, one wall The insertion shaft 32 closer to the other wall portion 26 is connected to the other wall portion 26 as a portion closer to the portion 25 (upper side view), closer to the other wall portion 26 (lower side view), and an intermediate position between them. The first shaft 44 that always contacts and always supports the shutter body 31 in the guide groove portion 15 is used as an insertion shaft 32 near one wall portion 25, and one shaft 44. The insertion shaft 32 located in the middle of the insertion shaft 32 near the other wall portion 25 and the insertion shaft 32 near the other wall portion 26 is supported by the guide groove portion 15 when the shutter body 31 is deformed by the load F. The same effect can also be obtained as the second shaft 45 (fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 12). In the present embodiment, for example, two first shafts 44 are adjacent to each other, two second shafts 45 near one wall portion 25 are adjacent to each other, and the second shaft is located in the middle between them. Although 45 is one by one, it is not limited to this. In this case, the second shaft 45 positioned closer to the one wall portion 25 has, for example, a self-weight of the shutter 12 (shutter body 31) applied downward to the one wall portion 25 of the guide groove portion 15. Therefore, the operational feeling of the shutter 12 may be improved as a configuration in which contact resistance is hardly generated and the contact resistance hardly occurs, or the upper curved portion 22 as in the second shaft 45 of the third embodiment described above. The shutter 12 may be configured so as to support its own weight and prevent the shutter 12 from falling downward and rearward along the descending portion 23 of the guide groove 15 due to its own weight.

  Further, in each of the embodiments described above, the shutter 12 is formed by two-color molding of the inner member 27 and the outer member 28. However, it is not always necessary to perform two-color molding.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the insertion shaft 32 may be one side per one rear cell part 42, or may be one side per one rear cell part 42. It is good also as three or more.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, although not shown, the first shaft 44 and the second shaft 45 do not have to have a circular cross section, and may have, for example, a quadrangular cross section or a polygonal shape.

  In each of the above embodiments, the ratio of the first shaft 44 (second shaft 45) in the insertion shaft 32 is arbitrarily set according to the size and shape of the console box 10 (guide groove portion 15). it can. That is, when the first shaft 44 and the second shaft 45 are alternately arranged, the number of the first shaft 44 continuously arranged and the number of the second shaft 45 arranged continuously may be the same. They may be different, and the number of them arranged continuously may not necessarily be constant throughout.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the console box 10 disposed between the driver's seat and the passenger seat of the automobile has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration and can be applied to any storage device.

  The present invention can be suitably used as, for example, a center console disposed between a driver seat and a passenger seat.
